I think it was contagious, because i got it too for a while. Horrible thing was i had just started a conversation, and i could hear them talking about how i lagged out, though i hadn't, i just couldn't talk. Joxer had a good laugh though, lol. I eventually gave up and went on the Aussie Vent. It stopped doing it the next day when i tried it again, but it was a bit worrying.
